Retreat Yourself 2013 FAQs

We know some of you have a few questions you would like to see answered before you submit your application for Retreat Yourself 2013, so here are some quick FAQs to help you decide. Please remember spaces are assigned on a first come, first served basis, so don't delay!

Why should I attend Retreat Yourself?

Getting to share and connect with other people who get what you're going through makes a big difference!

Which event should I apply for?

We encourage you to attend a Retreat closer to where you live. That way, travel is not as expensive, and also not as tiring.

How much does it cost?

The Retreat completely free (food, accommodation); all you have to pay for is the cost of your flight to the nearest major city (Halifax, Calgary, Vancouver). We have some travel assistance available if money is an issue for you at the moment.

How are the rooms assigned?

We pair people in double rooms based on the age, diagnosis, and similarities. You will not be paired with your supporter. Sharing a room with someone who understands your journey is a perk of the Retreat; you get to bond with someone and also give back in some way.

What is the deadline for supporter applications?

Supporters are also designated spaces on a first come, first served basis.
